I would take installing the air box 5 times, over putting this seal in. I cannot get it to conform at the top where it makes the bend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I have tried heating the rubber in this area to get it to conform to the bend without any luck. The 914 rubber piece is reinforced in the exact location that it needs to make the bend. Not sure what to do at this point. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

You can see where the original piece is bent.
